A person will always face many choices in his life, including class divisions in primary schools, admissions in middle schools, application for college entrance examinations, employment after graduation... etc... etc... Whether it is east, west, south or north... People will face such decision problems at such endless intersections throughout their lives. As long as you take a step in any direction, the trajectory of life will be completely changed from then on.

Zhou Liwen is now standing at this intersection and is about to make his own choice. However, unlike ordinary people, he has made this choice before, but that was already 15 years ago.

This is a day in early summer of 1999. Zhou Liwen inexplicably returned to 15 years ago. Now he is the 25-year-old young man who was in high spirits back then. He worked as the head of the asset management department in a large state-owned enterprise. He stood in the bathroom and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror. He had not come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, Zhou Liwen pinched himself hard, and the pain on his arm told him that all this was not a dream, but a real one.

To calm down, Zhou Liwen didn't have time to think about how all this happened, and he heard a rushing knock on the door outside the bathroom: "Are the people inside? Hurry up!"

"Oh... OK OK! Immediately!"

He replied subconsciously, Zhou Liwen washed his face and quickly opened the locked door. Outside the door was his former colleague Lu Jianguo. As soon as the door opened, he couldn't wait to rush in without saying a word, holding his pants, and when he entered the compartment, he bombarded him in a crackling manner.

Out

There is a corridor outside the 536b student room. Zhou Liwen is very familiar with this place because it is a unit that has been working for ten years. The corridor is moving forward. The third office is the Asset Management Department. Since he graduated from university, he worked in this company. He started as an ordinary employee and worked as a supervisor of the Asset Management Department until he resigned a few years later.

After resigning, the arrogant Zhou Liwen started his own business, but for various reasons, the company he founded soon could not continue to operate. After supporting him for two years, he finally closed the business. After the failure of his first business, Zhou Liwen found a new job with the help of his friends and joined a US-funded company. The company was well treated. Zhou Liwen also worked well in his new job and was deeply trusted by his boss. However, the good times did not last long. After working for a few years, he encountered the global economic crisis. The US headquarters where he worked for the company decided to end his domestic business. Zhou Liwen received a severance payment and left the company with his colleagues to go their separate ways.

Afterwards, Zhou Liwen started a business again. Although he finally made money after experiencing his first experience, due to his lack of funds and background, the newly established company only maintained a state of being able to starve and eat enough. He fought in the business world like a large number of small and medium-sized companies, struggling to find opportunities to become rich in one day.

This opportunity was not until the end. During the second entrepreneurship period, Zhou Liwen, who was already a big boss, finally got married under the urging of his parents. This marriage was actually boring for Zhou Liwen. To put it bluntly, getting married was just to satisfy the wishes in his parents.

Standing in the corridor, Zhou Liwen lit a cigarette and smoked quietly. Now his thoughts are still a little confused and he needs to be carefully sorted out.

After taking a few sips of cigarettes, Lu Jianguo came out of the bathroom, looking relaxed and no longer as anxious as before, and he was humming a pop song that was out of tune.

"There must be a problem with the meal in the cafeteria today. When I was eating, I felt that the hairtail was not fresh. I almost suffocated to death just now..." Seeing Zhou Liwen standing outside, Lu Jianguo also lit a cigarette and came to the side without saying anything.

Zhou Liwen's position in the company is not very high, and he is at the same level as Lu Jianguo, who is the director of the Storage and Transport Department. However, the Asset Management Department has great power. Zhou Liwen, as the supervisor, still shoulders the power to review the daily operations of the Storage and Transport Department. On weekdays, Lu Jianguo never used the airs of Zhou Liwen before, but instead he was a little pleased with Zhou Liwen. Of course, Zhou Liwen is not the young boy of the past, and knew that all this was for a reason. Because later he remembered very clearly that after resigning and starting a business, he had come back to find Lu Jianguo, hoping to obtain some cooperation in transportation business through the relationship between Lu Jianguo and the company's Storage and Transport Department. However, this small request was rejected by Lu Jianguo at once, and he also found a lot of reasons to evade him, which made Zhou Liwen very depressed.

The state-owned enterprises are relatively leisurely working. Lu Jianguo complained about the topic just now. It was nothing more than the relationship between the boss who contracted the canteen and the leader of a certain group. He must have received kickbacks. Zhou Liwen listened on the side and just smiled and didn't touch it. He continued to smoke his cigarette.

"I almost forgot. I saw Mr. Chen looking for you in front of me."

"Mr. Chen is looking for me? What's the matter?" Zhou Liwen was slightly stunned, recalling carefully what happened to Mr. Chen, but it was too long since he could not remember these details.

Lu Jianguo shook his head: "I don't know, I guess I didn't see you from the Asset Management Department, so I went to the Storage and Transport Department to ask."

Chen, the vice president of the group company, is mainly responsible for the business work of the Asset Management Department, Storage and Transport Department and Group Sales Company. He is Zhou Liwen's immediate boss. To be honest, Mr. Chen has always been good at Zhou Liwen. When Zhou Liwen was able to become a supervisor from a small cashier, he was promoted by Mr. Chen himself. A few years later, the reason for resigning from this unit was that Zhou Liwen did not want to stay in a lifeless state-owned enterprise, and planned to go out to make a breakthrough by himself while he was young. The second reason was that Mr. Chen, who handled immigration and resigned a few years later. Mr. Qian took over Mr. Chen's job. Unlike Mr. Chen, who was kind to others, Mr. Qian sent people everywhere in various departments as soon as he came to power, excluding Mr. Chen's old subordinates from the past, and Zhou Liwen had already been hit by the body.

648 The mark of the general series, coupled with his strong work sensitivity, has become the target to be eliminated first.

When he heard that Mr. Chen was looking for him, Zhou Liwen did not dare to neglect at all. He quickly threw away half of the cigarette butts, said hello to Lu Jianguo and rushed to Mr. Chen's office.

After knocking on the door, Zhou Liwen pushed the door open and entered when he heard Mr. Chen's voice coming from inside.

"Are you looking for me? Sorry, I went to the bathroom just now."

"Xiao Zhou, come on, sit down." Seeing that it was Zhou Liwen, Mr. Chen, who was sitting behind the large table, smiled and called Zhou Liwen to sit on the sofa beside the window together.

After throwing a Chinese cigarette to Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen took out a lighter with a wink, and first helped Mr. Chen light the cigarette, and then lit it himself.

"Did you read the financial review report of the head office for the branch?"

"I've seen it..." Zhou Liwen answered casually, recalling this incident quickly in her mind.

"The situation below is very serious!" Mr. Chen frowned slightly and said, "No of the eighteen branches has clear accounts, and three of them have serious dereliction of duty! Especially the Southeast Company and Xijing Company have suffered the largest losses. Now the Group's legal department has sent people there. If the losses cannot be recovered, they have to be resolved by law..."

Listening to Mr. Chen's words, Zhou Liwen suddenly recalled this incident. This was a major event that caused a sensation in the entire group. In early 1999, the group headquarters decided to conduct financial reviews on branches of various regions of the group. Originally, this review was just a routine for the group, but who would have thought that a big problem would be found after the investigation. Since the establishment of the branch, the group headquarters has not established an effective supervision system from the beginning, resulting in chaos in the accounts of each branch, and the branch managers deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates, and the phenomenon of filling their own pockets was serious.

If it is just an ordinary company to take advantage of the company, it would be fine. For large state-owned enterprises like the group, those who have some positions on weekdays can get some invoices to reimburse them, and those who use public buses privately, they will turn a blind eye even if they are not too much at the headquarters. However, unexpectedly, the long-term lack of supervision has led to the courage of several branch managers becoming increasingly fierce, and three of them have even had serious problems of embezzling huge amounts of public funds.

These three branches are Southeast Company, Kyoto Company and Xijing Company. Kyoto Company is a little better. After finding that the matter was exposed, the manager there tried his best to fill in the misappropriation of funds, which did not cause much loss to the group. However, Southeast Company and Xijing Company are different. The managers of these two companies are really bold. They don’t count the misappropriation of the company’s funds without authorization, and they even used the money to trade stocks. Unfortunately, they were not lucky. When the stock market fell sharply, they almost became pants. In order to recover the losses, they continued to embezzle a large amount of funds and filled in one after another. They did not take the initiative to explain after the incident. According to preliminary calculations, the huge misappropriation of funds could not be recovered, and the losses were finally as high as more than 12 million.
